Day 1 of the Ultimate Reset

Day 1 of the Ultimate Reset Complete!

I feel great so far, but then again it's just day 1 ;)

This morning I woke up and drank about 30oz of distilled water with Mineralize in it. It definitely has a different taste, but it's just because we are not used to it! I also had two capsules of Optimize, which promotes healthy metabolism (thankfully!). I waited 30 minutes and prepped my breakfast in the meantime. I went with the vegan option, but I forgot to get a few ingredients so I went with Oatmeal Tropical: oats topped with shredded coconut, raw walnuts, blueberries, and papaya! This was super filling and delicious :)

After breakfast, I waited 2 hours and then drank more mineralize, took 2 optimize and prepped lunch in the 30 minute time slot you have to wait! Obviously I could have prepped everything in advance, and I'll be doing that more throughout the week when recipes are repeated.

Lunch was a Microgreen salad with carrot, red bell pepper, tomato, and topped with toasted pumpkin seeds! I made the Sesame Miso dressing to go on top, with a side of Miso soup. Again, so filling so I didn't get hungry in between meals at all.

Then I waited 2 hours and did 21 Day Fix Yoga in the meantime. After Yoga, I had my timer go off again (I set timers on my phone between every meal and time I had to take my supplements) and I had mineralize and a packet of Alkalinize. I was worried about taking this because the taste isn't supposed to be great (it's like taking a shot of wheat grass), but I just poured it into a small cup, mixed it with about 4 oz of distilled water, and drank it really fast. I actually got a little boost of energy after and again I wasn't hungry.

I decided to skip my snack because I wasn't too hungry, so I decided to prep my baked tempeh (which I've never had before), steamed asparagus, and boiled baby potatoes.

Ok seriously, dinner was super satisfying!! It was hard for me to finish. I marinated 4 oz tempeh in apple cider vinegar, Bragg liquid aminos, sesame oil, pure maple syrup, and garlic (small portions of each) for an hour. Then I baked on each side for about 10 minutes. I steamed the asparagus (1 1/2 cups), drizzled lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil, and boiled 1 cup baby potatoes.

Wow, very great food so far. I'm very impressed. I just need to get better at prep. I highly recommend grocery shopping 2 days prior to starting, and meal prepping the day before. I'd give yourself several hours. I'm a very organized person and it still took me a little while. I have my own Phase 1 supplement and meal guide on my fridge, the supplement schedule on there too, and my meal plan in the kitchen with times in my phone of when to eat!
